The 4. 8B. short Line Railroad.

A correspondent writing to the West
minister AdCocGtc, under date Of March
2, says:
1t was my privilege to make a special
trip over the Annapolis and Baltimore
Short Line Railroad this morning on the
invitation of Col. II. P. Underhill, Presi
dent of the road. To. Col Underhill great
credit is due for his indefatigable energy
in prosecuting to a successful conclusion
this enterprise, so necessary to a proper
development of the country through
which ii passes, as well as giving the citi :
zcns Of Annapolis short and quick tran
sit to the Monumental City. and placing
our State Capital within easy access to all
persons whom business or pleasure may
prompt TO come here. We had an enjoy.
able little company In our car, lunch, &C.,
being joined on our way by others at the
different stations. At Arnold's several
ladies were added TO our number. and
seemed 10 greatly enjoy their first ride on
the A. & b. Short Line The gentlemen

Passengers by the Short Line from Bal
timore will take the cars at Camden Sta
tion, and go on the Curtis Creek Line to
ClifTord's, when the Short Line proper be-
gins. Following are the stations and dis

The road passes through rolling coun-

and no doubt will be fully developed in
the near future, in trucking. fruits, &c.
There are many beautiful locations suit
able for suburban homes along the line of
this road, and particularly at Round Bay.
In this section if you tire of land scape
scenery you can row your boat from

The view from the railroad bridge, as
you cross the Severn is majestically grand,
the expanse of water beneath and around
you, with the State Capital and Naval
Academy lending enchantment to the Dor
ders Of the water scenery.
Col. Underhill says that the road will
be open for passengers and freight bust
ness early next week. Three passenger
trains and one freight train will be run
daily each way between Camden Station
and Annapolis.

Safely Guard The Present.

Editor Mirror:
The beautiful inscription placed upon the walls
of the chapel in gilt letters containing the
words, ut is never too late 10 mend" awakens
thoughts which cannot dsrel and feel it nv
duty to give utterance to- them through your
paper, which takes for its motto the above
inscription. am going to give you these thoughts
as they present themselves to me. There is one
thing we possess, and which is present with
us as long as human reason exists, and that is
memory Our mind is compared to a book or
register in which every act of lives is noted
down; each morning blank page is turned on
which the days history is written in lines that
cannot be effaced. This book of re cord is your
memory, and according to what it bears will your
future life be happy miserable. An act done
is done forever, for the time in which it is done,
in passing, passed to return no more. The history
is written and sealed up; nothing can ever blot it
out. You may repent of evil, and put away the
purpose of evil from your heart but you cannot
by any repentance bring back the time that has
gone. nor alter the writing on the page of memory
word more and am done and my desire is that
we may ever keep these last words uppermost in
our thoughts, that the present blesses or curses
our future. Every act of our lives effects the
future time, for good or evil. We make our own
destiny and make it always in the present. The
past is gone; the future is yet to the present
only is ours. and according to what we do in the
